stantially line 1t-4 of Fig. 2, and Fig. an enlarged sectional view illustrating the method of attaching a head cap, employed in the construction, to the head band.

The preferred form of construction, as illustrated in the drawing comprises an annular head band 6 made of cloth or other suitable iiexible material and in the form of a' channel member open at its top. A plurality of flexible hot Water bottles T are arranged in band 6, said bottles being positioned. as indicated, so as to bring one of them directly over the forehead of the vvearer and one at each side of the forehead, as indicated. These hot ivaterfbottles; are substantially triangular in form and are provided vvith filling tubes 8 closable by means of clamps 9, as indicated, said hot water bottles being normally held in position in the head band G by means of strings l0 Which are tied together to fasten the adjacent edges of band 6 together and thus hol'd the Water bottles in place due to their triangular shape. Draw strings l1 are'also arranged at the rear of the band 6 at the tep and bottom thereof to serve as a means for adjusting the ign 1i, an enlarged section taken on sub-v length of the band to the head of the ivcarer, as ivill be readily understood.
